Pyoverdines (PVDs) are a class of siderophores produced mostly by members of the genus
Pseudomonas. Their primary function is to accumulate, mobilize, and transport iron …

Microbial community is the primary driver causing the greenhouse gas emissions in
composting. Thus, regulating the microbial communities is a strategy to reduce them. Here …

Iron is essential for many biological functions in bacteria, but its poor solubility is a limiting
factor for growth. Bacteria produce siderophores, soluble natural products that bind iron with …

The global rise of antibiotic resistance calls for new drugs against bacterial pathogens. A
common approach is to search for natural compounds deployed by microbes to inhibit …

Microbial secretions, such as metabolic enzymes, are often considered to be cooperative
public goods as they are costly to produce but can be exploited by others. They create …

Microbial secondary metabolites are a rich source for pharmaceutical discoveries and play
crucial ecological functions. While tools exist to identify secondary metabolite clusters in …

Nowadays, there is great interest in the discovery of food compounds that might inhibit gut
microbial TMA production from its methylamine precursors. In this work, an innovative novel …

Effector proteins secreted by bacteria that infect mammalian and plant cells often subdue
eukaryotic host cell defenses by simultaneously affecting multiple targets. However …

Microbial secondary metabolites have long been recognized as a rich source for
pharmaceutical compound discovery and to have crucial ecological functions. However, the …

In heterogenous, spatially structured habitats, individuals within populations can become
adapted to the prevailing conditions in their local environment. Such local adaptation has …
